"Bastard!" With a terrible shout, a quill inlaid with blue agate and translucent body was thrown heavily on the table,
The fat man was in his office, like a defeated rooster, with his head drooping, and his mouth uttered the same lament as any other famous monarch,
"The country is too poor, there is not enough money, and it is not enough to keep up with the high rate of consumption of treasury funds (of course, the fat man has always thought so!, although in the eyes of other countries, the fat is boundless!), the empire's financial statements for the last quarter were very pale and lay on the table in front of him,
The shocking expenditures marked with red bars on it completely ignore the fat man's kryptonite eyes that are like being blinded, and the numbers are piled up in the report gaps, with many names that cannot be seen, and even make the fat man have an illusion that these guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the most terrible enemies of the empire, and they should resolutely, thoroughly, and leave no trace to eradicate these guys who have nothing to do and settle accounts for themselves
In just one winter, the fat man was very sad to find that he had unknowingly spent three-quarters of the funds of the imperial treasury,
And the quarterly income report just sent has made all the meat on the fat man's body shrink, all the taxes and trade income add up, it is only 45 million, and the expenditure is 57 million that even the fat man himself smacks his tongue. That is to say, even if the fat man extorted 5 million from the Normans to fill it, the empire still lost about 5 million......
The pace of the financial crisis has clearly touched the bottom line of the empire. Although this is not the first financial crisis for the empire, the empire's treasury was empty once in the continuous unification war last year, and the last 2 million gold coins as the base make the fat man think about it now, and he still feels that his teeth hurt like a fire. During that time, the fat man did not dare to do anything, and hid in the northern mountains of Mount Doro to hunt and fight for half a month.
Although as a superman of high business in this era, the fat man is not in line with the current status quo, although the domestic market is prosperous, but there is a limit to consumption power, the southern part of the first open wiki has become saturated, and the three northern counties are densely populated. However, Rui Erdian, who had experienced a tragic war, was obviously unable to quickly recover the national strength of the former continental hegemon.
Not to mention the Rode in the south and Dorok in the east, the poor and the scum. One is military-oriented, in the era of Yagrolk, it has been squeezed and dried up, and the other has just experienced a food shortage and has not let himself be pasted into it. It would not have been possible to restore these two areas without an astronomical amount of investment
The most promising area for trade is the densely populated northern part of Saland. A large number of aristocratic classes moved from the interior to bring a very large flow of capital, while the central region, which was affected by the war, was relatively weak, and in the south, where the population was scarce, there was basically no spending power.
The figure of 45 million flashed through the fat man's distressed and crazy mind, and he picked up the report on the table again with an angry expression, and then put the report down again.
The population of the empire is only about 30 million, and it is very good to be able to reach this number, unless you add new taxes, otherwise, this number should be the limit of what the empire can reach at present. "Since you can't throttle, then there is only open source!" The fat man gritted his teeth a little helplessly, and went directly to the end of the report, and sure enough, he saw his intimate little padded jacket, Mao Monaqing, who was in charge of housekeeping, carefully and cautiously listed each item in the report with more than 1 million gold coins in his beautiful and lovely handwriting.
The fat man turned to this page, not to pay attention to expenses, but another important piece of information, because the financial report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a top secret of the empire, in order to avoid omissions, so it must be jointly reviewed by two people above the princess before it will be reported to the fat man.
That's where the fat man is concerned,
If you want to know who the wives' allies are, you only need to look at their joint signatures.
In this regard, even Mao Mona Qing, who is known for his ice and snow intelligence, cannot completely hide the past, which is an important weather vane for the fat man to understand the internal trends of the empire,
The fat man was next to Mao Monaqing's signature, and saw a very neat and elegant signature, Haraudian,
Interesting, this is the second time that he has co-signed!" The fat man's small eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a smile, and he looked at the fonts of his two wives that were ten times more beautiful than his own for half a minute, and it seemed that he was completely a guy who gave up on his housework, but at this moment he swept away the depression just now
"Such an obvious expression, has this Princess Rui Erdian finally decided to get rid of her original concerns? Interesting, even if they were enemies in the past, they will unite because of interests, this is probably a kind of change that has to be integrated under the general trend!"
The signature of the former princess of Rui Erdian, naturally with the domineering spirit of the Rui Erdian royal family that had shocked the mainland for hundreds of years, was written by a beautiful plain hand who had practiced swordsmanship,
The font is neat and reveals the magnificence of the Wang family, just like the gray blue eyes as beautiful as shining stars from the memory of the fat man, and that kind of beauty is a poignant beauty. A kind of regretful beauty, a kind of beauty that makes the hearts of others feel slowly trembling.
It is obvious that the trend of integration within the empire is developing in the direction of its own needs, and it can be seen from the attitude of his wives that his previous arrangement is correct.
Let Princess Agnhelen, who has no ambitions, be the titular commander of the newly formed Second Army of the South, and let the kind-hearted Nilai form the Northern Alliance. Become the de facto ruler of northern Sarande,
This series of arrangements completely broke the situation of the original harem being dominated by the north.
Even the northern faction like Mao Mona Qing needs to find new allies to consolidate their position, and the original national brand on their wives is being replaced by a regional brand.
The harem of the balance between the north and the south should be a little more reassuring!
The fat man touched his chin, got up from his seat and came to the window with a solemn expression, and looked at the beautiful wilderness outside the window with deep eyes.
Outside the window, the sky is full of red clouds, this is a coast outside the military port of Yueans, the blue sea reflects the red light, the tributaries of the inland river pass through the fluffy southern land, the winter woods, thin and slender, the snow-covered 1 mountains in the distance, and the majestic lines around the horizon
It was the seventh day! The day of the landing of the Confederate Army! On the other side of the earth, the edge of the empire rose from the horizon like the glow of the sun (to be continued.) )
